Abstract

A wireless transmission device for physiological information is carried personally by a user and is attached on skin to measure the user's physiological condition by touching the skin. Related physiological signals are continuously and automatically transmitted to other monitoring device through an automatic wireless transmission unit in the wireless transmission device. Therefore, the user's physical condition can be monitored at any time and the related physiological information can be provided to a medical facility or other monitoring facility for understanding and tracking.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
• a) Field of the Invention
• The present invention relates to a physiological information measuring apparatus and more particularly to a wireless transmission device for physiological information, which can monitor a user's physiological information at any time and then automatically transmit the physiological information to a server, such that the user's physiological condition can be kept track of at any time.
• b) Description of the Prior Art
• As a fast change of societies, a quality of life and material enjoyment of a modern person are quite enriched. Therefore, a dieting habit and a living style are relatively luxury. Due to the change of social patterns, elders cannot be taken care of comprehensively at all time by family members or personal nurses, and the elders cannot be even looked after if they go out for shopping or take a walk. On the other hand, when an accident happens, such as falling down, having a stroke, getting a fever or having a shock, if it is not found in time, then it is possible to cause a danger to life safety.
• Accordingly, how to solve the aforementioned issues and shortcomings of the prior art is a direction of research and development for improvement by the present inventor and related vendors.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
• The present invention is to provide a wireless transmission device for physiological information, which can be carried personally by a user and uses a measuring unit in the wireless transmission device to measure a physiological condition of the user by touching skin, wherein an interior of the wireless transmission device is provided with an automatic wireless transmission unit which continuously and automatically transmit related physiological signals that have been measured, the automatic wireless transmission unit will transmit these physiological signals to a wireless transmitter for analysis, and then the wireless transmitter will transmit wirelessly the analyzed physiological signals to at least one monitoring device. As a result, the user's physical condition can be monitored at any time and the related physiological information can be provided to a medical facility or other monitoring facility for understanding and tracking.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a wireless transmission device for physiological information, which is provided with a simple overall structure to facilitate carrying by the user.
• Still another object of the present invention is to provide a wireless transmission device for physiological information, which is provided with an easy operation method and can track the user's physiological condition at any time.
• To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
• FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
• FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a usage state of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
• Referring toFIG. 1, it shows a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the present invention is a wireless transmission device for physiological information. Thewireless transmission device1 of the present invention can be carried personally by a user and uses ameasuring unit10 in thewireless transmission device1 to measure his or her physiological condition by touching skin and measuring a micro-current produced from the skin, wherein an interior of thewireless transmission device1 is provided with an automaticwireless transmission unit12 which continuously and automatically transmit related physiological signals that have been measured, and the automaticwireless transmission unit12 will transmit these physiological signals to awireless transmitter2. As an interior of the wireless transmitter2 (e.g., a cell phone) is provided with a receiving unit20 (e.g., a Bluetooth or a signal connection line) and atransmission unit22, thereceiving unit20 in thewireless transmitter2 can analyze the received physiological signals through a data processing chip (not shown in the drawing) in thewireless transmitter2, and then the analyzed physiological signals are transmitted wirelessly to at least one monitoring device3 (e.g., a cell phone or a server) through thetransmission unit22. On the other hand, the physiological signals can be also computed first through a data processing chip (not shown in the drawing) in thewireless transmission device1 and then transmitted to thewireless transmitter2.
• Referring toFIG. 2, it shows a schematic view of a usage state of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the user first installs thewireless transmission device1 on his or her body and attaches to the skin. At this time, themeasuring unit10 will detect continuously the micro-current produced by the body, and the physiological signals detected from the micro-current will be continuously and wirelessly transmitted to thewireless transmitter2 through the automaticwireless transmission unit12. On the other hand, thiswireless transmitter2 can be put on a piece of clothes, a back bag or a location of hanging, depending upon the user's preference.
• When the receivingunit20 in the wireless transmitter2 (e.g., a cell phone) receives the physiological signals transmitted by the automaticwireless transmission unit12, the physiological signals will be further transmitted to at least one monitoring device3 (e.g., another cell phone or a server) wirelessly using thetransmission unit22. Accordingly, by the aforementioned devices and means of use, the user's physiological information can be kept track of at any time.
• It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
